"Bad Company" is a song by the hard rock band Bad Company. It was released as the third single from their debut album Bad Company in 1974, although it did not chart (in America). Co-written by the group's lead singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke, the song's meaning comes from a book on Victorian morals. The song uses the same chords and piano figure as Joni Mitchell's song "" from 1970.
It is also a rare instance of the artist, album, and song names being the same. Other examples include "Black Sabbath", "Blue Murder", "Iron Maiden", "Motörhead", "Electric Wizard", "Pennywise", "Damn Yankees", "Bang Camaro", "Deicide", "Porno for Pyros", and "Run the Jewels".
This song is heard in The CW series Supernatural, Season 1 Episode 11, titled "Scarecrow".
It is also heard in "Home Away From Homer", episode 20 of the sixteenth season of The Simpsons where Ned Flanders moves to a new town and becomes a "rebel" by keeping an untrimmed mustache.
